The Newberry Division, Bend-Fort Rock Ranger District is planning to burn piles 6 – 8 miles west of Sunriver. Ignitions are planned north and south of the 45 Road, from south of Wanoga Butte to north of Pistol Butte. Ignitions will occur all week as conditions allow. Firefighters select pile burning units for ignition based on moisture levels, forecasted weather and conditions predicted to move smoke away from communities where possible. Piles may smolder, burn, and produce smoke for several days after ignition. Once ignited, firefighters monitor piles until they are declared out. Please do not report ignitions.
